Two Hearted Ale is by FAR my favorite beer. Clearly the next best thing for me would be a clone (IMO), the AHS clone has a White Labs California Ale yeast but lists Safale US-05 as a option. I have the Safale in the fridge, is there any benefit to the White Labs? I've read the comments on this clone on their site, any other comments?

Since you're in Michigan you should try to culture the yeast from a bottle of Two Hearted. I've heard of people doing this successfully. Bell's uses a proprietary yeast strain, so using their yeast will probably make your clone more like the original. The yeast they use for bottling is the same yeast they use for fermentation.
